Mxl 990 Ribbon Microphone $79.99 A modern classic, the MXL 990 Ribbon mic is the result of great engineering. With an amazingly smooth and natural frequency response, the 990 Ribbon mic excels in the most demanding recording applications. It can be used to enhance string and woodwind instruments, along with mellow, edgy vocals and overly bright horns. It is equally at home when used in conjunction with a grand piano or even in front of a guitar cabinet pushing high SPL levels. When it comes to unprecedented versatility, the MXL 990 ribbon mic is a top-notch choice.The MXL 990 Ribbon microphone uses an aluminum ribbon transducer, which by nature is a bidirectional (figure-8) pickup pattern. A figure-8 pattern will pick up sounds from the front and back sides of the microphone with equal sensitivity while maintaining a large amount of rejection 90 degrees off access. The front of the microphone is indicated by the MXL logo where the audio signal is in-phase while the backside has an inverted phase. Ribbon mics typically have a lower output than condenser microphones and may require a preamplifier with a lot of gain. It is highly recommended to use a preamp with low noise, high gain, and an input impedance of 1500 or greater. It is strongly advised to experiment with placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set low to avoid possible equipment (and hearing) damage.Important Power RequirementsThis microphone does not require a power supply. Use of phantom power with this microphone is not recommended as it can severally damage the ribbon element and causes the microphone to be unusable.Aluminum ribbon transducerBidirectional (figure-8) pickup patternLarge amounts of rejection 90 degrees off accessThe front of the microphone is where the audio signal is in-phase while the backside has an inverted phaseSmooth and natural frequency responseDoes NOT require a power supplyDo NOT use phantom power, which will severely damage the microphoneWired with Mogami cable |

Neumann Tlm 67 Condenser Microphone $2199.95 The Neumann TLM 67 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone in the classic Neumann style. The stylish pearl-gray of the microphone body combined with the classic Neumann nickel lends the TLM 67 microphone a touch of distinctive individuality.The letters TLM stand for transformerless microphone. In the Neumann TLM 67 mic, an electronic circuit is used rather than a conventional output transformer. Like a transformer, the circuit ensures good common mode rejection, effectively suppressing interference signals that affect the balanced modulation line. The TLM 67 microphone can operate at sound pressure levels of up to 105 dB without distortion, and has a dynamic range of 94 dB (A-weighted), without the use of the pre-attenuation switch.The Neumann TLM 67 is an extremely versatile microphone. Its 3 switchable directional modes (omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8), selectable 10 dB pre-attenuation and high-pass filter permit detailed adjustments, depending on your recording needs.In the world of studio microphones, the numbers 47, 67 and 87 have associations that inspire enthusiasm among professionals. The classic Neumann U 67 was the successor to the famed U 47, which was Sir George Martin's favorite mic for recording the Beatles, and the U 87 has become the most used vocal mic in recording history. It is no coincidence that the name of the new Neumann TLM 67 microphone contains the number 67. In many respects, the Neumann TLM 67 mic is based on the workhorse mic of the 1960s: the legendary Neumann U 67 mic. Like the U 67, the Neumann TLM 67 incorporates Neumann's K 67 capsule. In addition, the special new circuit design closely reproduces the sound characteristics of the classic U 67 mic, without the use of tubes. The legendary and frequently imitated design of the Neumann U 67 was the first to be developed by Neumann employees in collaboration with the famous German designer, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. The design of the Neumann TLM 67 microphone represents a contemporary development of that of the U 67, transferring its positive impact to the present era. The enhanced exterior design thus links past and future microphone design trends.On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, the Neumann company is honoring its founder, Georg Neumann, with a badge on the front of the TLM 67 microphone. The distinctive Neumann attraction is conveyed in every detail of the microphone.ApplicationsDue to its extensive control features, the TLM 67 is suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition to its primary role as a vocal microphone for all types of music and spoken voice, in orchestral recordings the TLM 67 can be used as a main microphone and as a spot microphone for individual instruments.Acoustic featuresThe microphone is addressed from the side on which the Neumann logo is located.A large wire mesh grille encloses the elastically mounted double diaphragm capsule. The directional characteristics omnidirectional, cardioid or figure-8 can be selected via |

When will (Corporate Blogs/Facebook/Twitter) replace the classic Press Release?
The answer is…when the SEC says they can… but for the most part all companies are either currently using new media tools (which include video) with upload capability (many with no filter) for customers and employee’s.
This is the New-New for many old time, rigid, by the book, corporate structures in our and a carry over from the Dot.com era when wearing flip flops and kenneling Labradors was all the rage. It seems we are settling between Vitalis and a petting zoo. Keep in mind the American workforce is migrating to the home/remote office and if one more booth hog acts like I am invading their personal cubicle at Starbucks I will pull a Wozniack on them and tweak their wireless routers (which is easy). But let’s read some other input as we near Labor Day and honor the American workforce.
John Cass,who works for Advanced Micro Devices, is currently the volunteer community organizer for the Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki. He writes, “According to our research, 77 (15.4%) of the Fortune 500 are blogging as of 07/29/09.” He is joined by Coca-Cola, Clorox, Dell and others!
Expanding the Corporate Voice will take action on behalf of those in the industry who want change. Marketwire, Warren Buffet (BusinessWire) and the billion dollar Press Release Industry will no doubt have something to say about this….and they have more influence than a guy in the office with his dog.
Below are the 10 Press Release do’s and don’ts from Ben Silverman at ereleases.com. Thanks Ben and have a good Labor day everyone!!
- Don’t put an important press release out on a weekend. The press release wires are slow on the weekend and generally companies who are trying to hide news or put out a press release to satisfy a contractual commitment with a partner send out something on the weekend. The weekend press release will get ignored and it will be a waste of money and time for all involved.
- Is Friday a good day to put out a press release? Yes and no. Yes if you put it out first thing in the morning and work the phone. Friday is a good day to work the media because you’ll usually find people in better moods with the weekend coming up. But be careful. I’ve seen people put out press releases on Friday and then inexplicably take off early and not return calls until Monday. What was the point of letting the press release fester for sixty hours while a voicemail message about it sat unreturned?
- Should I put my press release out in the morning or afternoon? Mornings are best, but don’t do it too early. If you put out a press release at 7:00 AM, it may end up ignored. By the time journalists get through everything in their inbox, there are already 200 other releases that have come after yours. Public companies generally put out releases before 9:30 AM EST if they want to beat the opening bell on Wall Street. Private firms should wait until after 9:30 AM and let the big guys have their say. Afternoon press releases should hit before 4:00 PM EST to avoid after the market close releases from public companies. And of course to give journalists enough time to meet daily deadlines.
- How about putting out a press release around the holidays? Avoid press releases the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s and on the Friday before a three-day weekend unless the release has something to do with the holiday or is absolutely necessary because of the timing.
- The vacation press release. Here’s a simple tip: Do not put out a press release and then go on vacation. No joke, I’ve received press releases and called the contact info listed on the release only to find the contact has gone on vacation. If you’re planning on going on vacation, any releases in the two or three days preceding your departure should list someone else as the contact.
- Contact information. Ask any journalist and they will tell you that they want the following contact information listed on all press releases: a single person of contact with a direct phone number and direct email address. You should also include your web site’s URL in every press release if applicable. And to those who don’t put contact info down for strategic reasons, you should know that from a journalist’s point of view it makes your company look shady. In fact, most newswires won’t issue a press release without an actual press contact and telephone number.
- If I’ve partnered with a company, should we both put out press releases? I’ve never understood the concept of dueling press releases. I’ll often see a partnership or deal announced and see both companies involved put out a press release. Sometimes it’s necessary, as with a merger or acquisition. Other times it’s a waste of time and money. Work with your business partners to put out a single, coherent press release announcing a deal. Put out the release with contact info for both companies and devise a plan ahead of time for both public relations teams to communicate and deal with media inquiries effectively.
- A press release is an announcement, not a marketing gimmick. Think of a press release as an oral statement. Imagine having to read the release in front of a room full of people with cameras, microphones and tape recorders. A press release should be unemotional and to the point, not full of catch phrases and attempts at subtle advertising.
- Should I post the press release on my web site immediately after putting it on the wire? Yes. Why wouldn’t you? As soon as that sucker hits the wires, put it on your web site. Often times I’ll see a press release on the wire, read the headline, and then move onto something else. But the headline will stick in my mind, especially with a deadline fast approaching. I’d rather be able to just go to the company’s website and find it than sift through the wire.
- Need to send out a correction? Why did you screw up in the first place? The first press release I ever sent out for my web site included an incorrect date that confused journalists and basically ruined the release. The fault was all mine because I didn’t check the release for factual errors. I was excited and my brain froze. But that’s no excuse. The press release failed and journalists were even more miffed when I sent out a correction, further flooding their inboxes with a release they had already read or ignored. Take the time to fact and spell check your press release. It will save you time, money and grief
